Hometown Mini Quilt


I love my Hometown Mini Quilt! I had the cutest The Front Porch charm pack and knew it would be perfect for this pattern! I did need to make the background and borders scrappy...but I love it that way!

Supplies:
1. Hometown Mini Quilt Pattern by A Quilting Life
2. The Front Porch Fabric Charm Pack
3. Little Miss Sunshine by Lella Boutique for binding
4. Farmer's Daughter by Lella Boutique for backing



I sure loved sewing these sweet little stars...they finish at 4"...so tiny and cute! Plus The Front Porch fabric is gorgeous!

Magnolia Mystery Quilt


I'm so excited to share my Magnolia Mystery Quilt. I love the pattern design! It looks so tricky, but it wasn't! 

This is the first time I have participated in a Mystery Quilt Along and I loved it! Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs creates fabulous patterns and is a great host! 

Fabrics:




Each Month Cheryl would share cutting directions and/or piecing directions.

Spelling Bee Saturday Quilt Along with Fat Quarter Shop


It is Spelling Bee Saturday with Fat Quarter Shop and Lori Holt! I'm excited to be sharing letter M today.  The M block was super easy to piece as Lori's patterns are always clear and well written. My M block finishes at 8.5" x 12.5" (there is a smaller size too at 4.5" x 6.5").  The Spelling Bee Book has 26 letters (upper and lower case) in 2 sizes, plus punctuation, numbers, picture blocks, quilts, and mini quilts...it is amazing...more in a bit!

Let's get ready to start sewing M...




Supplies:

I chose to add borders to my M block to make it a 16" square.  Next, I added a zippered backing so I can use it as a mini quilt or a pillow....I love having options!

Clementine Quilt Along with Fat Quarter Shop



I am so excited to be part of the Clementine Quilt Along Fundraiser with Fat Quarter Shop! I love that Fat Quarter Shop and Moda Fabrics have partnered together to match donations up $20,000 to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital!

How it works:

On the 25th of January - July 2018, Fat Quarter Shop will release a Clementine pattern with matching video. The Clementine patterns are FREE to download at Fat Quarter Shop. It is suggested that you make a donation of $5 to the Fat Quarter Shop St. Jude campaign for each time you download the pattern.

Fat Quarter Shop has an amazing kit available featuring Mama's Cottage by April Rosenthal. It is gorgeous! Available here.

I decided to choose my favorite Bonnie & Camille Aqua Fabrics to make my Clementine Quilt monochromatic. I am loving monochromatic projects right now!
